Q

If edema control is due to lack of muscle contraction, what is important?

A

biphasic- polarity not important

17
Q

Do no use electrical stimulation to treat what?

A

edema with a systemic cause

18
Q

What is the rationale of treating inflammation?

A

negative polarity can move large negatively charged particles in circulation. They draw fluid along with them

19
Q

What is the waveform for inflammation?

20
Q

Where are the electrodes placed for inflammation?

A

Treatment electrode on inflamed area

Other electrode proximal to inflamed area

21
Q
